Alice Watson (pictured), head of marketing, insurance at Canada Life, said: “We’re pleased to announce a series of changes to our Capital Select Options - one of our lifetime mortgage product ranges - as well as our Lifestyle Options.
"The flexibility and certainty offered by the Capital Select Options range gives customers real peace of mind, while the cashback option is a means of support that can be put towards legal and adviser fees.
"Meanwhile, our Lifestyle Options are particularly popular with people who do not want to make regular repayments.
“As with all our lifetime mortgage products, both of these ranges allow people to continue living in their homes, while releasing the money tied up in their property.
"The potential unlocked capital can help retirement plans, pay for home improvements or even help fund lifestyles.”
